Permissions and Automatic Permissions

Permissions

On the Permissions tab, you can specify the users who may see this class.

Automatic permissions

You can activate the automatic permissions by value, value list, object type, or class. You can specify the automatic permissions for each class in the same way as for each value. For more information, see Automatic Permissions.

Note: The actual final object receives automatic permissions when a class with automatic permissions specified is added for the object.

Versions older than 8.0: On the Default Permissions for Objects tab, you can set the default permissions to be applied when a new object in this class is created.

Adjusting Permissions

Steps

  1. Open M-Files Admin.
  2. In the left-side tree view, expand the desired connection to M-Files Server.
  3. In the left-side tree view, expand the document vault of your choice.
  4. Still in the left-side tree view, highlight the appropriate node or subnode of the vault and select the desired item from the list on the right.
  5. Right-click the item and select Properties from the context menu.
  6. Go to the Permissions tab.
  7. From the Users and user groups list, select the user or user group whose permissions you want to adjust.

    1. Check the Allow check box to allow the selected user to see this item.
      or
    2. Check the Deny check box to deny the selected user from seeing this item.
